QuasiTV 0.9 - Custom Channels

-

Custom channels can now be created in QuasiTV.  I added a fairly easy to use UI that lets you create and edit custom channels.  By default you will be able to create 10 custom channels, but I also added an in-app purchase to upgrade to unlimited channels.  During early access unlimited channels will be 50% (2.49 USD).  This upgrade will also unlock the ability to edit the premade channels when that capability is added in 0.10 (most likely).  In-app purchases are currently only available for Android TV, but once QuasiTV gets to 1.0, it will also be published on the Amazon Appstore with In-app purchases also enabled.





I also added a new menu that pops up when the back button is hit while watching something.  It was way to easy to accidentally exit the app before and the menu also gives easy access to the settings and channel editor.


Here is a video of the channel editor in action.  The video quality is not the greatest since I was recording over wifi.

QuasiTV 2.0 is here!  The big new capability is user profiles (requires QuasiTV Premium IAP), but a lot of other things were improved in the process.  The web ui got a bunch of improvements and fixes.  Users who bought the 'unlimited channel' upgrade (now renamed to QuasiTV Pro) can now edit premade channels through the in app editor and the web admin.  There is also a new main menu replacing the simple popup that would display when the back button was pressed. The new update is currently in review on Google Play and will be rolled out to amazon in the upcoming days. Lets go into some details on the changes. User Profiles Once purchasing 'QuasiTV Premium' or purchasing the upgrade from Pro To Premium (cheaper option if previously bought the unlimited channel upgrade), a profiles menu will appear on the main settings page.  Clicking on that will allow you to create the "owner" profile.  The owner cannot be deleted and will have full admin. Once the owner profil

QuasiTV now supports custom channels based off playlists or collections.  QuasiTV Premium and Pro users will now be able to use the web admin UI to add these channels (not available in app editor).  When adding a new channel, you will prompted to choose from the list of playlists / collections, and then prompted to name the channel.   Playlist channels can be either played in order, or completely shuffled.  Collection channels have the same options as other custom channels (shuffle show / movie order and shuffle episodes). QuasiTV 2.1.0 (2023-10-02): -Added collection / playlist channels (requires premium/pro upgrade) -Improved shuffling episodes to prevent showing the same episodes as often -Fixed renaming channel by pressing the keyboard "done" button in the in-app editor -Remove channel list in app now lists channels alphabetically -Only retry playback on error if the episode was started within the last 20 seconds -Fixed add show/movie icon in channel editor -Exoplayer upd

QuasiTV 2.0.1

2.0.1 will be rolling out over the next few days with some fixes.   One fix was quite interesting.  When playing back media, QuasiTV has to construct a URL with info on what media to play AND information about the device it is running on.  Turns out AT&T made a TV device, so when playing on this device.. it would construct a URL with "X-Plex-Device=AT&T TV" in it.  The & is actually a reserved character in urls to indicate multiple parameters, so this was causing the server to fail to parse the url and would error out.  QuasiTV now just strips out & in device / model names before creating the url and playback works again. Enjoy! QuasiTV 2.0.1 (2023-05-22): Fixed episode restarting after a google assistant or alexa prompt Fixed issue where media wouldn't play on devices with ampersands in the device or model name
